Surface Structure of Streptomycete Spores as Revealed by Negative Straining and Freeze-Etching

H Wildermuth a,1
PMCID: PMC250484  PMID: 4189230

Abstract

The application of a simple negative staining technique and freeze-etching has revealed detailed information on the species-specific surface structure of spores and aerial hyphae of streptomycetes.
